441 | How To Protect Your Work as an Artist with Daniel Lachman, Justice for Artists

This week on the podcast, I'm joined by Daniel Lachman, founder of Justice for Artists.

Daniel is an artist and a longtime Etsy seller who has dealt with his fair share of creative work being copied, and instead of just being frustrated by it, he has built an entire platform to help other creatives protect what they've created.

During the episode, we get into the realities of art theft in today's digital world. We talk about the difference between counterfeits and knockoffs and why this matters more than you think.

We also talk about what protections you actually have as a product based business owner and how to start taking action if your work is being copied.

We also dig into copyright, what that really means, when it's worth it and what happens if you decide to enforce your copyright rights.

If protecting your designs, your products and your brand has been sitting in the back of your mind, or maybe you've had some other company steal your art, this is a conversation worth paying attention to.

Daniel created a step by step tutorial showing exactly how to apply for a copyright. This is a video tutorial and we've made that available inside of our LABS community for our members.

If you're not in LABS, this is exactly the kind of support we offer inside the community. Real tools, expert guidance and resources to help you run a stronger, more protected business. You can learn more and join us at prooftoproduct.com/labs.
